Wen Aya took the initiative to go to Jichang Palace, and Lu Wei finally reported it to Xiao Zhan. Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhan just pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's okay, since it's a matter of the queen's mother's family, she has to know it after all." ”

"Yes." Lu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then thought that the current queen was already at the end of the crossbow, everything was under Xiao Zhan's control, and she was a little too jealous of the queen.

"How's she doing?" Xiao Zhan lowered his eyes and asked lightly.

Lu Wei raised her head and glanced at him, then lowered her head and said, "The fetus is stable, and it has been nearly five months old." ”

"In four months, I will give birth," Xiao Zhan propped his chin and followed Lu Wei's words: "During this period, you still need to do your best to take care of Concubine Shu." If there is nothing important, there is no need to leave the palace again. In extraordinary times, I am afraid of extraneous branches. ”

"The slave knows," Lu Wei replied with trepidation. Seeing that Xiao Zhan had no other instructions, he withdrew from the room.

Feiyun stood behind Xiao Zhan, staring at Lu Wei's gradually fading figure, and slowly spoke: "Aren't you afraid that this child in Wen Aya's belly will become an obstacle for you?" ”

Xiao Zhan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Master, you should know my father's temperament better than me." Now that he knew that the ninth brother was still alive, the rest of us were no longer in his consideration. ”

When it comes to Xiao Nuo, the Nine Emperor Princes, Xiao Zhan's mood is a little complicated. The reason why he was made the prince at the beginning was mostly because the concubine did not have the heart to fight, and it happened that the mother concubine and the concubine were sisters like sisters, so she was close to the water and won the moon first. Later, Concubine Liang was framed by the queen for fornication, and after the Nine Emperors were not of royal blood, the mother concubine and him were also the first to be implicated.

Emotionally speaking, the Nine Emperors and the good concubines are relatives to him; And his biological father, Xiao Wu, was born to him, but he was a stranger. He has been dormant for many years, and he is about to get back everything that belongs to him, but things are going in the direction he least wants to see.

It's really a trick to make people.

Outside, it rained again. The raindrops hit the roof in a fine and dense manner, making a crisp and pleasant sound. The wind chimes hanging on the eaves also swing and jingle with the wind.

Xiao Zhan's thoughts were a little distant, he sighed softly, and said to himself: "I don't know what the situation is on the unruly mountain. ”

The two people he was worried about were both on the mysterious and unruly mountain.

……

In late summer and early autumn, there are only a few autumn rains elsewhere, but the first snow has already arrived on the unruly mountains. The snow is not heavy, but cold enough. When Ah Jin got up this day, he picked out the warmest jacket to wear, and Ah Zhen pushed the door in early. Seeing that she was dressed like this, she couldn't help but smile: "Girl, is this planning to spend the winter early?" ”

"Don't you think this autumn is colder than the previous winter?" Ah Jin glanced at her, not taking her jokes seriously.

Breakfast was a steaming bowl of red bean porridge with some Jiangnan dim sum. Ah Jin held the bowl in both hands, and waited for the red bean porridge to be eaten before taking a sip. Ah Zhen was waiting on the side, and seeing that she was eating quite happily, she cautiously said: "Ah Jiu went down the mountain and couldn't enter the door. Girl...... I can imagine seeing her. ”

Ah Jin was stunned for a moment, raised his head and glanced at Ah Zhen. After a while, he lowered his eyes and continued to eat breakfast. Her appearance looks gentle, but it always gives people a kind of coldness that rejects people thousands of miles away, "She is no longer a person in the Tongtian Pavilion, and she used to serve in the court, how can she be introduced to the door." You go and see her, ask her what she wants, and let her go down the mountain when you're done. ”

She still has a lot of things to worry about. Today's Tsutenkaku seems to be as calm as ever, but in fact, it has long been crumbling and its foundation is unstable. She came back to the unruly mountain, one to heal her wounds, and the other to help her father-in-law.

After eating breakfast neatly, Ah Jin wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "My father-in-law and my master are still in retreat. ”

"Yes, the pavilion master and the hall master have been in retreat for a while, and there is no sign of leaving the customs now."

Ah Jin raised his head and took a deep breath, then stood up with his hands on the table, "Ah Yin, where is he." ”

"Young Pavilion Master ......" Speaking of this once indifferent and ruthless teenager, Ah Zhen frowned slightly, "The Young Pavilion Master did not go down the mountain. But the slave and maid did not know where he was. ”

"Let him go. There have been so many things that have happened recently, and everything has something to do with him, and he should think about it. Ah Jin knew that the more he got to this juncture, the more he couldn't be impetuous. The problem must be solved step by step, and it should not be rushed.

She said as she reached out and pushed the door open. Suddenly, a cold wind mixed with the fragrance of flowers and fine snow fluttered, Ah Jin subconsciously shrunk his neck, and only after getting used to the temperature outside did he walk out of the house.

Ah Zhen followed behind her, and did not quietly retreat until she reached the place where Liang Qi'an and Dai Yue were in retreat. At that time, Ah Jiu had been waiting at the foot of the unruly mountain for a long time.

Ah Zhen was holding a warm soup woman in her arms, and looked at Ah Jiu who was kneeling straight in the snow with mixed tastes, "Why are you so troubled." ”

Ah Jiu, who was already frozen and stiff, heard the human voice, raised his head slowly and glanced at Ah Zhen, and then lowered his head silently, "What about the girl......"

Her loss, Ah Zhen saw it all, "The girl has something to do, so she can't come in person." She asked me to give you this soup woman. ”

Xu was because it was too cold, which made Ah Jiu's thinking a little sluggish. If it was ordinary, she would definitely be able to find the difference between Ah Zhen's words, but now her brain was blank, staring at the soup woman who Ah Zhen handed over in a daze.

Seeing that she hadn't answered for a long time, Ah Zhen couldn't help but stuff Tang Pozi into her arms, and stepped forward to help Ah Jiu up from the snow, "Those who are not in my Tongtian Pavilion, and those who are not invited, are all asking for their own hardships." You've been in the pavilion for so long, don't you know the rules? It's clearly ......"

"I know...... I'm asking for my own hardship," Ah Jiu responded weakly, raising his head as he said and looking at the top of the misty mountain stupidly, "But as soon as I heard that Tongtian Pavilion might be in trouble, I couldn't help but come back." ”

She smiled bitterly, and after standing firm, she gently pushed Ah Zhen away, "Thank you for your advice, but I still plan to stay here until the eldest girl and the pavilion master forgive me." ”

"Why don't you understand?" Ah Zhen was a little anxious, she stomped her feet hatefully, "The big girl doesn't hate you, let alone forgive or not." ”

Ah Jiu listened to her words, and his face turned pale. She didn't know Ah Jin's temperament, but from now on she and Ah Jin became strangers, which was the last thing she wanted to see. She would rather Ah Jin hate her.

After a short silence, Ah Jiu lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard Ah Zhen's words. She saluted Ah Zhen, and then turned away with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Ah Zhen anxiously looked at her staggering away, knowing that she was not going down the mountain, but where she was going, she couldn't ask, she could only watch Ah Jiu's figure turn into a blurry little black dot, completely disappearing from her sight.

……

On the mountain, Ah Jin sat in a pavilion wearing a brocade rabbit fur cloak. Curtains were hung on all sides of the pavilion to block some wind and snow, and to allow Ah Jin to hear the movement outside the pavilion. When Ah Zhen stepped on the snow and entered the yard, she had already heard this string of small footsteps.

"Girl." Ah Zhen lifted the curtain and walked into the pavilion, and saw that the cup of tea in Ah Jin's hand had been empty, so she refilled another cup.

"Ah Jiu, she hasn't left yet." Ah Jin asked.

Ah Zhen nodded, "Ah Jiu is afraid that he has gone to the realm of the mountain guards at the bottom of the mountain." ”

For a long time, there have always been some people who have gathered at the foot of the Unruly Mountain for one reason or another to guard the mountain gate for the Tsutenkaku. Ah Jiu's decision was also expected by Ah Jin.

She flipped another page of the account book that had been spread out in front of her, and looked at it carefully. In order to welcome her father-in-law and master out of the customs as soon as possible, she would stay here every day until the dead of night.

"Girl, listen to Ah Jiu, is the imperial court planning to make a move on Tongtian Pavilion?"

Xiao Wusheng has long had this thought. If it weren't for the concession of his father-in-law, he would not have delayed it again and again. Now...... He's afraid he can't afford to wait. ”

Ah Jin's worries are not unfounded, she has just received the information sent back from the royal capital by Hatsumi. And now the person in charge of the dynasty seems to be Xiao Zhan, the king of Run. The saint Xiao Wusheng has not been to the court for more than a month because he is lingering on the sickbed. If Xiao Wusheng is willing to let go, he should push the boat down the river and pass the position of prince to Xiao Zhan. He didn't move for a long time, but he had other plans.

After all, it is impossible for him to pass the throne to the child in Concubine Wen Shu's womb who has not yet spoken.

Thinking of these things, Ah Jin really felt that his head hurt. She stretched out her hand and gently tapped her temples a few times, then looked up at Ah Zhen and said, "You go and tell the people in the pavilion to be careful when you go out to do errands now." If anyone comes up to the mountain with a decree from heaven and asks us to do something, don't make your own decisions, just bring all the guests to me. ”

"Yes." Ah Zhen lowered her head, "Girl, there is one more thing. It is...... At present, there are already people in the Tongtian Pavilion who are speculating why the Pavilion Master and the Hall Master are both in retreat all of a sudden. ”

"What do they say?" Ah Jin flipped through the account book and paused, but his voice was calm.

"Some guess that the pavilion master is injured, and some guess that the hall master is injured...... There are also some people who vaguely know what happened in the royal capital Zhu Mansion......"

"Tell those people in the library to keep their mouths closed, and don't reveal a word about what happened in the royal capital a while ago. If I had heard the slightest rumor coming from them...... "Ah Jin hadn't finished speaking, Ah Zhen had already understood what she meant.

Liang Jin, the eldest girl of Tongtian Pavilion, has been in charge of large and small affairs in the pavilion since she was fifteen years old. Everyone in the Tongtian Pavilion knew very well that they would rather provoke the pavilion master than provoke this decisive little Hades.

"The slave knows, so let's do it." With that, Ah Zhen withdrew from the pavilion and hurried out again.

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Ah Jin stretched out her hand, and there were still snow seeds falling down and falling on her fingertips. She withdrew her hand and stared at the ledger spread out in front of her.

It seems that I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for the master and my father-in-law to get out of the customs today.

She was thinking about it when there was a sudden movement at the entrance of the cave. Ah Jin stood up excitedly and opened the curtain to look over there, and instantly burst into tears.

……

Day after day, the days go by as if nothing had happened. Although the people in the Song Mansion noticed a hint of clues, they didn't dare to talk about it in front of Song Wenyu. Compared with the caution of others, Old Madam Song is much more upright. Love Literature Network

"You don't have to come to see me often, I know my body," Old Madam Song's body is not as good as before, and even the imperial doctor is helpless about her current condition. Every time I came here for consultation, I just told a few innocuous words, and then left in a hurry.

Song Wenyu looked at the bowl placed in Mrs. Song's hand, where Mrs. Song had already drunk most of the decoction, leaving only a layer of bottom. He clearly remembered that Ah Jin had said that if the life-sustaining grass did not eat a whole root, the medicinal effect would be greatly reduced. Within three months, Mrs. Song's condition will definitely take a sharp turn for the worse.

Now, the three-month deadline is approaching.

"My grandson has been fine lately, so naturally I want to spend more time with my grandmother." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to cover the quilt for Mrs. Song.

Old Madam Song sighed, and couldn't help but sigh: "If the Shen family is healthy, your children will already be able to walk by now." ”

Song Wenyu was stunned, and a smile appeared on his indifferent face, "It's not too late to wait until Ah Jin recuperates." ”

"Wen Yu ......" Old Madam Song looked at him with hatred, "Could it be that you want your grandmother's old bones, and you can't see your eldest grandson born when you die?" ”

Song Wenyu stared at Mrs. Song calmly, her attitude was still calm and gentle, "Grandmother is afraid that she is sick and confused." Your eldest grandson has just been born. ”

He was referring to the children of Song Wenyuan and Zhuang Xiaomeng. The child gave birth a month after Ah Jin left, which finally brought a touch of joy to the Song Mansion.

Old Madam Song knew that she couldn't move him, so she shook her head helplessly and tilted her head to the side, "It's okay." You go out, the old body wants to rest for a while. ”

"Then grandmother should rest well, and don't think about other things." Song Wenyu stood up, saluted Mrs. Song, and strode away.

As soon as he left, Mama Li, who was waiting on the side, opened her mouth to comfort and explain the old lady Song: "Old lady, don't go to your heart." The eldest young master loves the young lady so much, so he naturally has to worry about the physical condition of the eldest young lady. ”

"Wen Yu, that kid is you watching him grow up. Don't tell me, you don't see that the kid is hiding? ”

Mama Li smiled, "Brother Yu is not only a slave who grew up, but also an old man who grew up." That's why you should rest assured. Since he was a child, he has never missed a step, nor has he ever seen him act impulsively, but he has avoided everything that will hurt the reputation of the Song Mansion. Old lady, what are you worried about such an obedient child who is distressed. ”

"That was before. Since he married Shen, it's like a different person," Old Madam Song coughed twice, and Mama Li handed her a clean handkerchief, but she didn't reach out to take it, "You see how long Shen has been gone, and he looks depressed." His eyes are full of decadence, and he still looks like this every day to see me, and he sees that I will die for several years. ”

"Old lady," Mama Li sneered, "after all, you still care about the eldest young master." In that case, why don't you take a step back and don't always pick up words that the eldest young master doesn't want to hear. ”

After listening to Mama Li's words, Mrs. Song was a little unconvinced, she glanced at Mama Li unhappily and said, "Come on, the old man knows it in his heart." ”

At this point, Mama Li knew that there was no point in persuading again, so she had to give up.

Song Wenyu walked out of his grandmother's yard and was led to the flower hall by Huairen.

"Aten?" This is the first time in so many days that Song Wenyu has observed Luo Teng at close range. The other party's haggard appearance made him not recognize him for a while, and he didn't even dare to come forward to recognize him.

Luo Teng heard Song Wenyu's voice, stood up and saluted Song Wenyu with a fist, "Brother Wenyu, I haven't seen you for many days." ”

Song Wenyu entered the house and beckoned him to sit down, "You have been on sick leave to recuperate at home these days, how are you doing now?" ”

Luo Teng smiled bitterly, looked at his clothes, and then looked at Song Wenyu and said: "Brother Wenyu, don't talk about me, I heard that my sister-in-law has returned to Jiangnan to recuperate, and you are alone in this royal capital, are you okay?" ”

Song Wenyu was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to answer this, so he could only smile self-deprecatingly, "It's for my brother to ask more." ”

Luo Teng shook his head, "Brother Wen Yu is worried about the contemptible in his heart, and he is very grateful in his heart...... Today's visit is actually to ask for something. I also asked Brother Wen Yu to show a clear way for the contemptible people, I want to go to her. ”

"Who?" Song Wenyu chuckled in his heart and asked quietly.

Luo Teng stared at him for a moment, and then broke the silence and said: "I have thought through a lot of things at home these days. Wen Yu, there are only you and me in the house now, you don't have to hide it. I just wanted to find Ziyi, and I wasn't interested in anything else. ”

"Aarten, I really don't know what you're talking about." Song Wenyu hesitated again and again, and finally declined Luo Teng's request, "If you recover, you should go back to the palace to report on your work earlier." ”

"I'll go into the palace to face the saint. When I resign from my official position, I can go to her. ”

When Song Wenyu heard this, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, but Luo Teng answered the question, "At the beginning, I thought that she had a past life Gu on her, so I would use all my strength to fight her...... But I didn't expect that she actually planted the Afterlife Gu on me...... At the end of the day, it's all my own cleverness. ”

With that, he reached out and pulled the placket open, so that Song Wenyu could clearly see the strange and intricate patterns on his chest.

"This is ......" Song Wenyu pointed to his chest, and Luo Teng nodded to him after sorting out his clothes expressionlessly. Song Wenyu helplessly lowered his hand and looked at Luo Teng, "Even if you want to go to her now, you can't go." ”

"Why?" Luo Teng frowned tightly and looked at Song Wenyu in confusion.

Song Wenyu opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start. After thinking about it for a while, he spoke: "The imperial court has set its sights on Tongtian Pavilion, and the saint has always had the intention of annihilating in one fell swoop, but he is struggling to find a way to the Unruly Mountain. If you pass by this time, I'm afraid you will be this guide in a daze. Not to mention...... The purple clothes did not necessarily stay on the mountain. ”

"She didn't go back to Tongtian Pavilion, where can she go." Luo Teng frowned and asked in dismay.

"I don't know about this," Song Wenyu thought for a while, "Probably, it's in the Medicine King Valley." ”

Song Wenyu's speculation made Luo Teng's whole person cheer up again, he stood up and arched his hand towards Song Wenyu and said, "Since this is the case, then I will set off for the Medicine King Valley." ”

"Aten, that's just my guess. In case of...... In case she's not there, or ......"

Luo Teng stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, "If I don't go this way, I won't be able to sleep well for the rest of my life." Whether I can find the entrance to the Medicine King Valley or not, whether I can see her or not, I have to go this way. ”

"Good. Then I wish you what you want, sincerity, and gold and stone. Song Wenyu said, and also stood up and saluted him.

“…… Brother Wen Yu, after I set off, if there is anything in my house, please bear with me. Before leaving, thinking of his family, Luo Teng said to Song Wenyu worriedly.

"Aren't you going to make it clear to your family?" Song Wenyu looked at Luo Teng a little strangely, "Just leave." ”

"If I can say it clearly, why don't I want to say it. I'm afraid that the wall has ears and will affect the family. ”

"Your family will know about the resignation sooner or later. You've got to think of a countermeasure first. Song Wenyu pursed his lips and confessed earnestly: "Don't let Commander Luo worry about you anymore." ”

"Hmm." Luo Teng nodded and took a few steps back, "Brother Wen Yu will send it here." The rest of the way, I'll walk on my own. ”

"There will be a date later." Song Wenyu bowed slightly, just stood at the door, and watched Luo Teng leave.

On the way back, Huairen saw Song Wenyu's thoughtful look, so he couldn't help but say: "If the eldest young master wants to find the eldest young lady, he can also take a leave of absence for a while." ”

When Song Wenyu heard this, his footsteps paused, and then returned to normal, "When the royal capital is settled, it's not too late to look for her again." ”

Huairen sighed helplessly, and muttered in a low voice: "Whether this king is stable or not, it is easy to say, the sage made an order to establish a prince." Now there are only the four princes serving him, and the little one really doesn't understand the mind of the saint. ”

"Don't talk about the Heavenly Family," Song Wenyu suddenly turned around, looked at Huai Ren with a serious expression, and said, "The saint does this, naturally he has his plans." As courtiers and people, how can they figure out the holy will? Huairen, this kind of thing is categorically impossible to say in the future. ”

Huairen didn't expect that his self-talk would be listened to by Song Wenyu word for word, and he knelt down in shock, "The young master has taught me a lesson, the little one will never dare anymore, never dare again." ”

Song Wenyu bent down and helped the trembling Huairen up, "Before the storm, it was quiet and peaceful, but it was just an illusion. The more times like this, the more careful we have to be when we do things. You follow me in and out of the palace often, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds. ”

"Big Young Master...... The small thing is to see that you miss the eldest young lady and are so haggard, and I am really anxious...... "Huairen looked at Song Wenyu with a sad face. Regarding everything that happened in the East Wing that day, he was afraid that he was the only one in the entire Song Mansion who knew about it.

"I know," Song Wenyu said in a calm tone: "I don't go to her at this time, for her, in the Song Mansion, it is safest." ”

"It's a little reckless." Huairen lowered his head in frustration, only hating himself for almost doing something bad with good intentions.

The corners of Song Wenyu's mouth hooked, "It's not your fault." With that, he let go of Huairen's arm and looked out of the corridor with his hands behind his back.

The sky in the royal capital is getting colder and colder, and the leaves of the trees have changed from green to golden. When the wind blows, there are always a few leaves falling with the wind.

"Autumn has arrived......" Song Wenyu muttered to himself.

I don't know that his little lady who is afraid of the cold is doing well in the mountains.
